New Delhi: India\u2019s biggest cricket carnival, Indian Premier League (IPL), is always a hot topic whenever any event related to the tournament comes near.<\/p>\n
After a huge uproar during the transfer window saga, when Mumbai Indians signed Gujrat Titan\u2019s skipper Hardik Pandya in an all-cash deal, the five-time IPL champions have created buzz once again, by replacing their most successful captain ever, i.e., Rohit Sharma, with Hardik Pandya for the coming season.<\/p>\n
All the trophies that Mumbai Indians have won so far came under Rohit\u2019s leadership, and a surprising change before the 2024 season, has sent ripples around the Internet.<\/p>\n
A large chunk of Mumbai Indians\u2019 fans are not happy with the decision and are questioning Mumbai Indians\u2019 loyalty towards their legend player, over the unexpected decision.<\/p>\n
Rohit Sharma led the Mumbai Indians from 2013 to 2023, successfully leading them to five IPL and one Champions League title.<\/p>\n
The announcement of giving Hardik Pandya the captaincy was made on Friday evening, through their social media page.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Hardik Pandya was part of the Mumbai Indians squad from 2015 to 2021, before leaving for Gujrat Titans, where he captained the side to back-to-back finals, even winning one of them.<\/p>\n
Social media boycott
\nAs soon as Mumbai Indians made the decision public, they were in the crosshairs of angry fans, who did not appreciate the team\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
A lot of them said they would stop supporting Mumbai Indians after this, and the result was visible as the five-time champions lost followers in chunks on their social media pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
